Original posting from Faraday Future via Greenhouse
Your Role:
This is a hardware-software integration role on our embodied-AI robotics platform. You will develop and validate our robot SDK across humanoid and quadruped robots from multiple vendors, own edge-side integration and hardware bring-up (compute boards, sensors and buses, on-device inference), and build the developer platform and developer tools (Skill Store, Console, and content creation tools) end to end, from the web frontend and backend services through to verification on real robots. As the roadmap advances, you will also build simulation environments and train, evaluate, and deploy motion policies on real robots. Every interface you write ends up running on real hardware and being called by third-party developers, so a success return code is never our definition of done.
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Robotics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
Experience building software that other people depend on (SDKs, libraries, APIs) or embedded / hardware-software systems. No minimum years required; new graduates with strong hands-on embedded or robotics project work are welcome to apply
Proven knowledge + expertise, and passion for robotics software, hardware-software integration, and developer platforms
Top-notch Python or C / C++ skills, at the level of production code with tests
Strong familiarity with Linux development and deployment (systemd, networking, log forensics) and at least one robotics middleware or communication stack (ROS 2 / DDS / MQTT / zenoh / gRPC)
Hands-on with real devices: able to bring up hardware, integrate vendor protocols, and diagnose failures on site
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven expertise with unified abstraction layers over multi-vendor hardware, and with conformance or certification test suites that outside parties have to pass
A diverse skillset including embedded debugging (I2C / SPI / UART / CAN / USB, logic analyzer, oscilloscope), edge-AI deployment (quantization, ONNX / TensorRT / NPU), and service operations (containers, CI/CD, reverse proxy, monitoring)
A wide range of experience with robot simulation (MuJoCo / Isaac / Gazebo), reinforcement or imitation learning carried through to a physical robot, motion retargeting, or humanoid whole-body control
Experience with developer platforms, SDK releases, documentation sites, or app and plugin marketplaces
Full-stack web development experience for the developer platform and tools: frontend (React / TypeScript or similar) and backend services and APIs (Python / FastAPI, Node.js, or similar) backed by a relational database such as PostgreSQL
Experience shipping production web products: accounts and sign-in (OAuth / OIDC), file and package upload / download, usage quotas, cloud deployment (AWS, object storage), and frontend testing
Rust or C++ experience (some runtime components are written in Rust / C++)
Comfortable working from schematics and datasheets; power, battery management, or thermal experience is a plus
Open-source contributions, technical writing, or developer-community experience
A habit of verifying before concluding, and a conservative approach to anything that moves real hardware
A creative curiosity, collaborative ethic, hardworking enthusiasm, and driving personal vision
Excellent communication skills and team-working tendencies
A penchant for multi-tasking and self-starting
A genuine fascination for the robotics and embodied-AI field and a commitment to global change
A true sense of determination… and hopefully a sense of humor
Salary Range:
$80,000 - $120,000
Perks + Benefits
Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
